Watch the exclusive coverage for the "Nine Rivers Gala" at The Rubin Museum of Art in New York City. The RMA focuses on Himalayan Art & culture. The event marked the third year anniversary for the museum and the first gala. 2006 Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, and former President Bill Clinton were honored with The Mandala Arts & Humanitarian Awards. The award recognizes individuals who possess a commitment to Himalayan Art or humanitarian service to benefit the global community.

Chef Vikas Khanna helped prepare the menu for 400 guests. Some of his dishes included; Curried Corn Chowder with Roasted Poblanos, Yogurt Marinated Brochettes of Grilled Chicken & Chick Peas with Onion, Tomato and Cumin Seeds. I was honored to get to taste all of them!! Of course the desserts were also delicious. The rice pudding with raisins and dried fruit was yummy. You can visit Chef Vikas at "Purnima" at 245 West 54th Street in New York City. Congratulations Chef Vikas!!
